The Lake Suite Ko No Sumika Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Booked a room with private onsen and shared amongst 3 friends. There is valet parking upon arrival, and complimentary drinks and simple snacks at the welcome lounge between 3-10pm. They had a harpist perform at the lounge and dinner sometimes, it was very peaceful! Room was nice and comfortable, facing a nice view of lake Toya. Would have liked to be even closer to the lake as it turns out there is a field between the hotel and the lake. Temperature and size of private onsen js good, room facilities also great. Breakfast and dinner was wonderful, for dinner they serve a 6-7 course French styled meal on both nights made by Japanese ingredients. They had western and Japanese main plate options for breakfast with a buffet alongside too. Choices were plentiful and delicious. Staff generally very courteous and helpful, we had an issue with the hot water in our shower which they work very hard to fix. There was a random incident where one of the staff Yusaku was very rude to us at the Lumiere restaurant, he pretended not to understand English when taking our order for tea/ coffee, and even challenged us when we asked for lemon in tea, he said ‘what colleague?’ And ‘you want a piece of tea?’. Completely unacceptable for a hotel like this. The rest of the staff were nothing like that.

This is a somewhat older, traditional Japanese-style hotel. The lobby boasts grand and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning lake views. The lower level offers a wide range of entertainment facilities and good drinks. However, the rooms and facilities are a bit dated. The majority of guests are Japanese families. The restaurant provides excellent lake views. Breakfast and dinner were decent but nothing to write home about. Given the limited dining options around Lake Toya, eating at the hotel is the most hassle-free choice.

For just one night, I chose the most affordable hotel in Lake Toya. I wasn't expecting much, but the room was clean. The receptionist spoke good English and was very polite. The public baths were also okay.
